Abstract

A statistical decision theory approach is described to develop tractable handbook procedures for determining possible violations of federal standards of atmospheric contaminants in non-stationary industrial environments. The decisions as to whether the environment is safe (compliance) or unsafe (noncompliance) are made with the constraint that a probability of an incorrect decision is below a specified error level. Illustrative examples are presented, and it is shown that the resulting decision rules can be implemented with nomograph charts which are amenable to a simple handbook procedure.
